According to the National Weather Service, the Puget Sound area is on track to have one of the driest starts to December in recent history. The last time Seattle had at least seven days in a row with no measurable precipitation in the month of December was 2013 (Dec. 3-11). The last time Seattle had 10 days without measurable precipitation was in 1999, according to the National Weather Service. We had a 14-day streak with no measurable precipitation in 1985.

We’ve had several days without rain and that trend is expected to continue, with forecasts calling for little to no precipitation in the Puget Sound region until at least Monday.
